BI 233Z Human Anatomy & Physiology III

Examines the structure and function of the human body through a body systems approach. Explores anatomy and physiology of the respiratory, digestive, immune, lymphatic, urinary, and reproductive systems at the relevant levels of biological organization (chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, and organ system). Covers acid-base balance and human development. This course includes a laboratory component.

NOTE: BI 231Z, BI 232Z, and BI 233Z may not be combined in sequence with BI 231, BI 232, and BI 233. Students who start the sequence with BI 231Z most continue with BI 232Z and BI 233Z. Z and non-Z versions of the courses are not combinable.

Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Explain key homeostatic mechanisms and feedback loops in the lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Describe anatomical structures and their relationships to function in the lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems and human development. Explain key processes of the lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems and human development. Relate the relevant levels of biological organization to the functions of the lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Describe how the lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems interact with other body systems. Apply physiological and/or anatomical concepts of the lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems to practical scenarios such as clinical, public health, and societal issues. Identify major structures in the lymphatic/immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems using lab materials.
